Complaints and Moans

[BlindWizard]

Before Christmas within the depths of a thread we ended up discussing how much of the forum was complaints and moans and it should be more positive.

I posted this suggestion:-

"If you boil it down there are probably only 5 or 6 key issues that we are complaining about but most threads end up coming back to them therefore end up "moaning".

If we had an "issue/complaints" section and one thread for each then the rest of the forum could be kept positive/constructive. If an issue is posted on other threads they can be moved to where they belong. Also Management know the section they need to offer answers/explanations to quickly before we all wind each other up even more.

Sounds sensible but don't know if practical. What do you think Motters ??"

Would this work ??

Great idea, Blindwizard. For a while before Christmas there was a lot of cross fertilisation of ideas and views on tools, pleated blinds, methods etc. We do now seem to be back to a bitching session - maybe post Christmas blues, but it would be nice to get back to some positive threads.
Having said that, despite all the rubbish that's come from H/O recently, I appear to one of the very few who's still earning a reasonable living, and don't think I've ever felt threatened by an area manager or FSM in 16 years. Reading some of the comments from others, I can understand their views.
And before you all call me a company YES man, I'm well know for challenging many of the statements made at team meetings, including cries of "that's a load of crap!" Perhaps the difference is rather just moaning I can back my challenges up, and suggest positive alternatives. They may not be accepted, but they are at least aired.
